Package: flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
Severity: important


flashplugin-nonfree is now available for x86_64 architectures, but this package is not - getting sound out of flash is thus quite complicated on x86_64 systems.

As far as I know Adobe dropped support for x86_64 and the last release
for this architecture got a security hole and should not be used, and
I have also been told that the latest versions of Adobe flash now
support ALSA out of the box.  The latter I suspect make the
flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound package obsolete.

Are you sure you need flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound?

For x86_64, gnash might be a useful alternative.

Happy hacking,

I wasn't able to get any signal out through SPDIF (optical) when using
ALSA, so I - or more specifically a more experienced friend of mine -
switched to OSS. I was under the impression that this hindered me from
getting any sound out of flash and that I needed this package to
remedy this problem, but bug #573846 <
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573846 > suggests
that isn't the case?

I haven't been able to make that work at all, but it might be worth
having another shot at.
